Choose one color of fingering weight sock yarn and knit the beginner friendly textured sock pattern. The Basketweaver stitch pattern is knit with simple knits and purls with a little yarn over eyelets that make the texture pop. The sole of the sock is knit is smooth stockinette stitch for a comfortable feeling on the bottoms of your feet. These socks are knit top-down, so you can easily customize the length of the leg and foot as you knit. A garter stitch heel flap hugs the heel. Once you make these socks, you will be ready to confidently knit any of my other sock patterns!
